Education enhancement funding

the School will recognise and reward excellence and innovation in teaching and offer opportunities for academic staff to develop themselves and to create an educational offer for students that is ambitious, challenging and rewarding

The Eden Centre is the School’s centre for higher education research and expertise. As well as conducting our own research, we fund academic fellowships and work with research assistants during the academic year to investigate different aspects of education and the student experience at LSE.

Through the Eden Catalyst Fund we enable evidenced-based education development and innovation projects across LSE.

Finally, the LSE Education Evaluation Framework enables colleagues across the School to undertake evaluative research to better understand the success and impact of their projects and initiatives.

Please get in touch via eden@lse.ac.uk if you have an idea you would like to explore.

The Eden Catalyst Fund supports evidence-based education enhancement and innovation projects for up to £8000. We support initiatives which contribute to the development and delivery of education enhancement activities at the School.

The Eden Centre has funding available to employ both undergraduate and postgraduate students as research interns or assistants during the academic year 2025/26.

This is intended to support LSE Academics’ commitment towards education for sustainability, but also to offer students different experiences such as insights into how to embed education for sustainability in the existing curriculum; support curriculum enhancement, participate in course design and research skills development.

Are you working with students at LSE, supporting their education or student experience? Are you interested in learning more about your work and its impact? Then the LSE Education Evaluation Framework and Open Evaluation Fund might be perfect for you.

Recognising the need for critical reflection as part of education work, LSE has developed the ‘Education Evaluation Framework’. Containing resources to help you develop an evaluation approach, a dedicated support team and the Open Evaluation Fund, the framework contains a lot of resources that can help you develop an evaluative research project.
